[QUOTE="AtkinsMo, post: 1354328, member: 104933"] I'll ask again, did you actually watch the video? This is nothing to do with diabetes, this is a cardiologist, who, on 2 occasions in his career, participated in clinical trials. On both occasions the trial, so far as the company sponsoring it was concerned, was a failure. The trial basically demonstrated that the new procedure did not work and had no clinical benefit. So this doctor was offered inducements to remove data from the trial, then to not publish the trial, then eventually sued by the pharmaceutical company (a case he won and was awarded costs). He comes across, to me, as a genuine and honest person. How much is his experience reflected right through medical research? Pharmaceutical companies have a duty to shareholders and a duty to generate profits and dividends. We, the users / customers / patients need to be aware, in my opinion, that their objectives do not include altruism. We need to tread carefully. [/QUOTE]
